Abstract
Buried oxide layers formed by implantation in silicon were observed by microprobe RBS with 1.5 MeV He+. A cross-sectional image of a local o xide layer was obtained by imaging the decrease in silicon signals. Un iformly implanted samples annealed at 1260 and 1300-degrees-C were obs erved by RBS-mapping images. A nonuniform region, indicating the absen ce of surface silicon, was found in the mapping images for annealing a t 1260-degrees-C, while the buried and surface layers for annealing at 1300-degrees-C were found to be uniform.
